Preparation

Make the dressing:

In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, the anchovy paste, the thyme, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing in another small bowl, arrange the tuna pieces and the squash slices on a baking sheet, and brush them lightly with the reserved dressing. In a bowl toss the shrimp and the scallops with 2 tablespoons of the remaining dressing. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, drain them in a colander, and refresh them under cold water. In another bowl toss the beans with 3 tablespoons of the remaining dressing.

On a rack set 4 to 6 inches over glowing coals grill the tuna for 2 1/2 minutes on each side, the shrimp for 4 minutes on each side, and the scallops and the squash for 6 minutes on each side, transferring the seafood and the squash as it is cooked to a platter. Line 6 plates with the lettuce, on each plate arrange 2 scallops, halved horizontally, 3 shrimp halves, and 1 piece of tuna, sliced diagonally, and divide the squash, beans, roasted pepper, tomatoes, and olives among the plates. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salads or serve it separately.

OK - let's be serious. Excellent ingredients (what's not to like?) which mount up quickly at the cash register. Unfortunately, it just didn't pull together. Followed the recipe exactly and everyone said, "Yeah -- OK. . ." Could have used garlic or just some kind of oomph. I will not spend the money to make this again.

Everyone is still talking about how delicious this is! I skipped the squash and roasted peppers and added steamed redskin potatoes and hard boiled eggs. A winner!

Here's the great thing about this recipe: Every
bite is different. Lettuce, green bean, shrimp.
Tomato, scallop, squash, tuna. I mean, do the
math, as they say. There are so many different
bites to put on the fork, and they are all good.
The dressing is excellent.
Chill the plates with the lettuce. Chill the beans
and tomatoes. Serve with a nice cool rosé. Have
some friends over. Kiss your wife. Be glad the
sun came up today.
